Impact of Social Media is changing the Way Movies are Promoted?

Written by mali

Social media has revolutionized this generation. It is the easiest means to share information, search for information, to meet friends or to meet strangers, to cheat and to get cheated on and the list can go on and on, on both positive and negative side. Social media is influencing almost every industry and movie industry is affected by it the most.

We all know that every product needs to get promoted. Be it a soap or perfume or even a movie. If a movie is not promoted they chances are that no one will even know about it. Only when a movie is promoted do the people come to know about its release. Promotion tells people about genre, cast, hint of story and the director. All these factors are a must in catching the interest of viewers. But how does social media changing the ways of movie promotion? Here is how –

Being Fastest to Share it

As social media is accessible to all the people around the world it is the fastest way to share. A person shares a review or a trailer on his or her wall will automatically appear on numerous people’s news feed. Those friends might be in the same country or may be in different continents. If one person sees a movie trailer and likes it that person will share it on Facebook wall. If that person has 100 friends at least 25 will see it and check out the trailer and then they will post it on their walls. Then another 25 people will see it and the chain continues and the movie gets promoted.

No Investment

Social media is a platform that spreads anything with no cost. If a girl likes a Barbie movie trailer then she will post it on her wall. This promotes the movie and the producer of the movie did not have not to spend a penny. Massive promotion happens this way and costs the movie makes no money.

Movie Apps

Another great way to catch-all movie trailers is by movie apps. Show Box is a movie app that you should consider if you need to stream latest movies and movie trailers. The app is for free and so is it services. It also streams TV episodes and music.

Movie apps are also a great way to promote movies. But this way might charge some money from movie makers. Another good movie app is MovieBox. It streams movies, trailers, TV episodes and music. It is for free and very compatible with Android users. Visit this site to get more in depth details and review.

Risks Involved

Although social media is fastest and cheapest way of promotion yet it is also with the maximum risk. If a single person does not like a trailer or a movie then he or she might write negative review about it. Others might read it and get influenced by it. Social media has both its pros and cons.

H.R. 1730 expands unauthorized federal hate crimes. Hate crimes violate the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law by improperly penalizing the same crimes differently based on the motive of the perpetrator and the identity of the victim. At the federal level, they advance the dangerous, unnecessary federalization of criminal law enforcement.

House Liberty Caucus statement on #HJRes123, continuing resolution until December 22, 2017

December 7, 2017

The House Liberty Caucus urges opposition to H.J. Res. 123, the continuing resolution (CR) to fund government operations until December 22, 2017.

The two-week extension of government funding sets the stage for a massive spending bill where both parties will ultimately agree to increase spending on their pet projects rather than pass meaningful spending reforms. This is a way for both parties to give themselves Christmas gifts—more military spending for Republicans and more domestic spending for Democrats—at the expense of the American taxpayer. The two-week CR gives senators a Christmas gift as well: the leverage to withhold their votes on tax reform in exchange for increased spending when Congress has to pass another bill to fund government operations beyond December 22.

Congressional leaders refuse to face reality. With the passage of each reckless spending bill, Congress moves us closer to a fiscal crisis that will hurt all Americans, particularly those who are poor and vulnerable.

I voted no on #HR38 because I support the right to keep and bear arms.
H R 38 includes two separate bills: the Fix NICS Act of 2017 and the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017.
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is used to enforce federal laws prohibiting broad classes of people from purchasing guns—including people who have never been convicted of any crime. People can be added to NICS and have their right to purchase a gun permanently denied without any judicial oversight, and if someone is added inaccurately, correcting NICS records can require fighting a bureaucratic appeals system with massive backlogs, or hiring an attorney to sue the government.
The problems with NICS have been recognized by this very Congress. The House has passed, and I have supported, two separate measures this session (#HR1181 and #HJRes40) to end the VA’s and the Social Security Administration’s practice of forwarding records of veterans and social security recipients to NICS just because they have had someone appointed to handle their financial affairs.
Despite this, congressional leadership is now pushing the “Fix NICS” Act, which provides incentives and hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for states, federal agencies, and courts to “ensure maximum coordination and automated reporting” of records to NICS.
Actually fixing NICS’ violations of due process and the Second Amendment would require limiting the categories of people who have their Second Amendment rights revoked under the law, adding sufficient process before each person has their records forwarded to NICS, and creating an effective and enforceable process for correcting errors in NICS records. Instead, this bill just bolsters the existing, flawed system.
Other pro-gun advocates have also recognized the problems with “Fix NICS.” Rep. Thomas Massie, chairman of the Second Amendment Caucus, voted against the bill, noting that it “throws millions of dollars at a faulty program and [] will result in more law-abiding citizens being deprived of their right to keep and bear arms.” The National Association for Gun Rights strongly opposed the bill, saying that it “will only assure that more law-abiding gun owners become ‘prohibited persons’ as states dump more records into NICS of non-adjudicated individuals, who have received no due process rights, no right to counsel, and have had no day in court.” And Gun Owners of America referred to “Fix NICS” as “gun-control-lite."
To get this anti-gun bill through the House, leadership combined it with the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which requires states to allow out-of-state visitors to carry concealed firearms if they are allowed to do so in their home state. Unfortunately, this bill is fatally flawed as well.
Its worst problem is that it relies on the Commerce Clause as the basis for federal authority to require concealed carry reciprocity. Carrying a weapon over state lines is not inherently “interstate or foreign commerce,” so this is an inaccurate reading of the Commerce Clause, and it is a misguided strategy for pro-gun advocates. The Commerce Clause has consistently been used as a basis to restrict gun rights at the federal level, and that practice will continue unless we reject this erroneous interpretation. Instead, H R 38 endorses the use of the Commerce Clause to regulate entirely noncommercial gun possession.
Relying on the Commerce Clause is also entirely unnecessary. The Second Amendment itself serves as a basis for federal protection of gun rights, and conservative law professors have suggested the Full Faith and Credit Clause as an additional alternative basis for federal concealed carry reciprocity legislation.
In return for all the anti-gun provisions in the bill, it expands concealed carry reciprocity to just ten remaining states that don’t already have it. This is not an acceptable trade-off.
I have a concealed carry permit from Michigan, and I travel frequently to Washington, D.C., which does not recognize my permit, so I would benefit from concealed carry reciprocity. But H R 38 undermines the right to keep and bear arms, and I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. The bill bolsters NICS without addressing any of its grave constitutional flaws, and it endorses a dangerous constitutional precedent that has been used, and will continue to be used, to restrict gun rights.
It passed 231-198.
